Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $9,000 of the $13,714 with a category attached, or 65.6%. Abiomed accounts for 73.1% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $11,115 and has fallen 97.2% since, to $308 in 2025. Among critical care medicine clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 92 payments — averaging $149.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
